Auckland crash victims reportedly seasonal workers

Two individuals tragically lost their lives in a devastating accident on State Highway 1 in Auckland, New Zealand. According to reports from Samoan media, the victims were young men from Samoa who were in the country as seasonal workers.

The crash resulted in a total of three fatalities, with three more individuals sustaining injuries, one of whom is in critical condition.

Samoa Global News revealed that two of the deceased individuals had been identified by their families in Samoa and were scheduled to return home in just two days.

Another passenger involved in the accident, also a seasonal worker, was among those injured. He was reportedly seen on a Facebook live stream from his hospital bed, tearfully recounting the harrowing incident to his colleagues.

The section of SH1 where the collision occurred has since been reopened. The lanes were temporarily closed between Bombay and Ramarama following the collision involving a truck and three other vehicles that took place shortly before 2pm on Monday.

An eyewitness, Tamati Cassin, described arriving at the scene just 30 seconds after the crash and witnessing the tragic aftermath. He mentioned seeing three bodies in a van and three other individuals with injuries.

Cassin recalled approaching the scene and being met with a “big dust cloud” across the motorway, with metal barrier wires scattered across the lanes. The severity of the crash left a lasting impact on him, as he expressed regret over witnessing the tragic scene.

Despite the chaotic aftermath, Cassin noted that bystanders attempted to assist the injured and deceased individuals. He expressed his sympathy for all those affected by the accident, highlighting the emotional toll such incidents take on everyone involved.

Authorities confirmed that all three individuals who tragically lost their lives were traveling in the same vehicle during the collision.

Counties Manukau road policing manager Inspector Tony Wakelin expressed shock over the multiple fatalities and extended condolences to those impacted by the tragedy. Support services have been made available for the individuals involved, their families, and the emergency responders who attended the scene.

Police are urging anyone who witnessed the crash, especially those with dashcam footage, to come forward with information.

Following the incident, road crews worked diligently to install a temporary steel barrier on the median strip to replace the damaged wire rope barrier.

Paul Geck, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi Auckland systems manager, reassured the public about the safety of the barrier, noting that newer barriers are more effective at preventing such accidents.
